The same reliability score was calculated for the 50% most reliable neurons in five-trial blocks ('Materials and methods: Data analysis').
It is well established that intrinsically noisy networks can be constructed with reliable neurons.
To develop intuition, consider a simple model where location is represented in the animal's brain by reliable neurons with rectangular firing fields (e.g., Figure 1B).
This discrepancy has motivated models of cortical circuits that inherently produce noisy spike trains even with reliable neurons, by virtue of chaotic dynamics (van Vreeswijk and Sompolinsky, 1996; Shadlen and Newsome, 1998; Litwin-Kumar and Doiron, 2012).

In SmartTracing, we first identify the reliable neuron reconstructions as training exemplars.
The system is inexpensive, reusable and easy to fabricate; it minimizes neural tissue damage and achieves reliable single-neuron recordings at the injection site.
As a result, cross-correlation analysis produces fairly accurate estimates of shifts for cells with heading preferences within the range of headings tested, but does not provide reliable shifts for neurons with monotonic tuning functions in that range.
For the quantitation of WMN, WSA with manual selection is faster and more consistent and reliable in identifying neurons in the white matter compared to the complete automated selection; in the manual selection, the user drew a selection that was a set distance from the grey/white matter demarcation, therefore excluding the cortical layer VI.
It is of interest to elucidate the mechanisms that permit reliable first-order neuron responses and, by the same token, to identify the sources of trial-to-trial variability among cortical neurons".
One of the most reliable identifiers of neuron types is the presence or absence of axons and dendrites within well-defined neuroanatomical boundaries.
Previous studies of neuron survival by the Priestley lab have confirmed with toluidine blue histochemistry that NeuN immuno-reactivity is a reliable marker of neuron survival after spinal cord injury [34].
